This Week Subscriptions Will Be Made All Over the United States to Honor His Memory Pub lic Meeting Next Monday Oct. 27 at Court House - W M. ' ' New York, Sept 28William Boyce Thompson, President of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, to day issued the following statement "With the co-operation of State, county and local commmittees in all parts of the United States, the Roose velt Memorial Association is ready for its campaign during the week of October 20-27 to honor the memory of Theodore Roosevelt The people of the '.United Sjtates are requested throughout that week to contribue to the fund for memorials to Theodore Roosevelt. "The Roosevelt Memorial Associa tion believes that Americans desire to see two forms of memorials for their dead leader. The first of these forms is one that shall be immediate and that shall enable all Americans to subscribe to and uphold the staunch Americanis of Theodore Roosevelt. The concrete expression of this me morial will be a series of meetings held ,in every city and town of the United States on Roosevelt's birth day, October 27th. All states, county and local committees comprised of representative citizens of all denomi nations, political parties and social classes, are-actively engaged at pres ent arranging for these meetings on that date. Prominent (speakers at these meetings will voice the staunch patriotic principles of Theodore Roose velt and will ask their audiences to take part in the movement to cherish and perpetuate his ideals of Ameri canism. "In addition to these memorial meetings, which will be a tribute to the genius and patriotic service of Theodore Roosevelt vVthere will be permanent memorials that will convey to present and future generations the character and principles of Theo dore Roosevelt. It is for the estab lishment of these permanent memori als that the people of the United States will be asked during the week of October 20-27 to make contribu tions to the memorial fund of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. "Every person who gives to this fund during that week will become a permanent member of the Roosevelt Memorial Association. In behalf of this Association, I call upon the peo ple of the United States to join in this membership movement "It would be contrary to the broad American principles upon which the Roosevelt Memorial Association is founded to fix any amount requisite for membership. Any contribution, large or small, will entitle the person to membership. "Men, women and children by the thousands are visiting the grave of Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. Millions of others who hold his mem ory In esteem and affection are not able to make this journey, but the plans of the Roosevelt Memorial As sociation for the week of October 20-27. provide ample opportunity to honor the memory of this great Amer ican. The countries of the Allies, whose cause Theodore Koosevelt espoused so valiantly in the darkest daya before victory came, are joining Americans in this movement Likewise in the Philippines, Porto Rico, Alaska, Ha waii, and in the farthest corner where the Stars and Stripes fly, men and women are preparing to honor his memory during the week set apart by this Association. The officers of the Roosevelt Memorial Association know that they have only to explain to the public the plans for this cam paign of October 20-27 in order to receive enthusiastic support in all parts of the world." .

This moving is no cinch ; Its dusty and unclean And makes you cross and mean. When moving day comes 'round This gent cannot be found; He slips away at peep of day And hardly has a thing to say ; For books and beds, and stoves and sleds And other junk he has his dreads; He shuns them all and has a call While draymen lift and dump and haul, When moving days are done Methinks I will not run From wife and home and all, Nor from a duty call ; But like a hero I will stay And with the children I will play, For home will furnish fun When moving days are done.

CUT BY HAYWOOD MAN. Sam Husking, a Dry Goods Drummer Shoots at Ralph O. Kelly and is Carved With Knife Kelly Out on Bond. SILVER MEDAL FOR CHEESE. Haywood County Cheese Made at the Factory in Waynesville Wins Sil ver Medal in Chicago at the National Dairy Show. Mr. Austin Moody, the courteous and skilled dairy expert in charge of the local cheese factory has been ad vised by the National Dairy Show holding its meet in Chicago that his cheese made at the factory in Waynes ville of good Haywood county milk has been awarded a silver medal Our congratulations extend to both the sagacious beusiness men who made possible the starting of the factory a few months since, and to Mr. Moody. In passing it is pertinent to add that the demand for the cheese is many times in excess of the supply, and Haywood farmers are' urged to ar range for a larger amount of milk. THE SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION CAMPAIGN. Rev. A. V. Joyner, director of the Haywood County association for the Seventy-Fhre Million Campaign, and Mrs. R. N. Barber, director for the women are anxious to assist any church or organisation if they will ar range dates and communicate with them at the very earliest moment It is important that every Baptist church be organised at once. Bakersville Banner. Last week at Pensacola in Yancey county, Samuel J. Huskins, who trav els for the Myers Dry Good Company, was dangerously cut in many places by a man by the name of Kelly, a lumber inspector. From the best information we could obtain it seems that Huskins and Kelly were both paying attention to a ooaraing nouse Keeper at rensacoia, that Huskins on arriving at the house, found Kelly there with the woman in question, and that he (Huskins) de manded admission, and this being de nied proceeded to kick the door down. On entering it said 'he pulled his pistol and began to fire at Kelly. Kelly in order to protect himself, jumped at Huskins and began to use his knife on him, cutting him very severely in several places, the wounds being of such a serious nature that Huskins waa taken to the Rutherford- ton Hospital Kelly was arrested and placed under heavy bond, later he was arrested and placed in jail at Burnsville to await the outcome of Huskins' wounds. Later reports from Rutherfodton are to the effect that Huskins is improving and will, unless complications set in, get well. Both men are well known here, es pecially .Huskins who has many friends all of whom will be glad to learn that he will recover. Later Since the above was put in type, a special from Asheville says: "R. O. Kelly, who dangerously cut Sam Huskins in a fight at Pensacola in Yancey county, was brought here by the sheriff of Yancey and released under habeas corpus proceedings by Judge T. B. Finley, "bond being re quired in the sum of $10,000.00. Kelly is a well known lumberman and his home is in Haywood county. Late reports from Rutherford ton Hospital is to the effect that Huskins! will recover, but he will be badly dis figured, and the carving it is said, was mostly about his head and throat The problem of a building site has has been solved at last for our Meth odist friends, who for several years have disagreed as to where their new church should be built, Several loca tions were agitated and options were taken on some, but last Sunday, the time for a decision came with the forces almost evenly divided between building on the present site and go ing to Main street, (the vote was 60 and 54 respectively) Dr. Way's lot on the corner of Main and Pigeon, the old skating rink site and the Temple lot on the corner of Main and Walnut, were then discussed the present loca tion having been eliminated. When it seemed that the forces were so evenly divided and that many wished to remain at the old location, Dr. Way arose and in a conciliatory manner sprung a glad and welcome surprise by offering in place of all sites considered a free and beautiful lot sufficient for both church and par sonage buildings. This location is at the head of Main street at the crest of the hill where the street makes a bend and will allow the front and spire to face Main street, as does the court house in Sylva. We congratulate the Methodists on this handsome location which the writer has 'always maintained as the finest church site which has yet been considered, and the generosity of Dr. and Mrs. Way in making a new church building possible at an early date. We understand that an archi tect will at once be engaged and that subscriptions will soon be taken for a modern and costly structure of large proportions, somewhere around $50,000 HAYWOOD WINS -FIRST PRIZE. D. Reeves Noland Who Made the Haywood Exhibit at The South eastern Fair, Atlanta, Won $500 as The First Prize Madison Wins Fifth. Word comes from the Southeastern Fair, Atlanta, that against unusual competition from several southern and southeastern states, '-Haywood county's exhibit in charge of D. Reeves Noland has won first prize which is $500 in cash. This county took sec ond prize last year, and never fails to be a winner. Of course Mr. Noland will win as usual many individual prizes which will net him nearly a. thousand dollars. He always does. ' Madison county's exhibit In charge of Bob Noland won 6th prise. We haven't heard from E. J. Howell yet, who had charge of the Jackson county exhibit, but it is likely that he was a winner also, GET-TO-GETHER DINNER AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH. WANT TO BUY A small library table. Address Box 23, stating price, WayoesvOte, N. C Thirty or more men of the Baptist church walked into the basement Sun day school room of the church, Tues day evening at 7:30, where they found several prettily decorated and well lighted tables. They soon found some thing more to their liking than, even flowers and fruit. An elegant dinner was served by several ladies of the church. After dinner the men retired to the main Sunday school room where speeches on various phases of the church and denominational work were made by T. L. Green, W. J. Hannah, J. D. Boone, C. A. Haynes, Capt Al den Howell, Pastor A. V. Joyner and others. The only regret expressed was that somebody hadn't set the prescedent for that sort of thing before. The conviction seemed to be that the giv ing of a get-to-gether dinner should be made a part of the permanent pol icy of the church. DR. MEDFORD HAS ACCIDENT. We are informed that one day the latter part of last week as Dr. Sam B. Medford of Clyde was driving his Ford roadster down the steep hill near the site of the burned hotel at Lake Junaluska, with a grandchild by his side his attention being attracted by the child, he lost control and the Ford turned over two or three times down the embankment without serious injuries. When he saw the car was going he pitched the child out on the road and it waa unhurt One thing is certain, when one is driving a car he has no time for anything else. Dr. Medford's many friends will be glad to know that he escaped so lightly. PERSHING LITERARY SOCIETY. HAYWOOD AND MADISON TAKE PRIZES, Asheville Citizen. Haywood and Madison counties have added to Western North Carolina's agricultural fame by their exhibits at the Southeastern fair held last week in Atlanta. The first prize for coun ty exhibits went to Haywood, the fifth to Madison county. These counties have always been rich in farming and livestock possibiliities, and in the past few years farm agents have found the citizens of Madison and Haywood rqttdy students in better methods which mean greater production. In talking about basic industries agrU culture should not be overlooked. The' Madison and Haywood farmers and atockraisers are doing more to solve the problem of H. C. L. than any oth er part of the citizenship. -1 IN HONOR OF MR. AND MRS. GRISWOLD. The Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian church had a most delightful social at the Manse Friday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Griswold, and to which the return ed soldiers and sailors were invited. In spite of the inclement weather, a large crowd was present and pro nounced the evening a delightful one. Miss Kitty Alley gave a reading, Mrs. Sikes and little Miss Ruth Sikes gave several (piano numbers. Mr. Griswold made an interesting talk, and many amusing games were played. Misses Margaret Sikes and Marion Griswold assisted Mrs. Sikes in serv ing various enjoyable confections. MUSICAL PROGRAM CHURCH.
